Keep Austin weird...

Steven Anthony Garza

An Austin man is facing charges after police say he tossed a drone
and a ham radio over the fence because he was tired of his neighbor
“getting in his head.”

Steven Anthony Garza faces an assault charge in connection with the
incident. According to the arrest affidavit filed by Austin Police,
Garza stormed into Matthew Hammons’ yard while Hammons was using his
amateur radio equipment to talk with his father. Hammons told police
Garza charged him while making gestures indicating he was looking to
fight. Hammons told officers Garza first broke his radio’s antenna and
then headbutted him; Hammons went inside.

While inside his home, Hammons told police he watched as Garza threw
his Yaesu 857-D radio and a personal DJI Phantom drone over the fence
causing $4,000 in damage.
